Complaint filed with FCC over Comcast's use of delaying tactics

Comcast’s admission last week that it is “delaying” certain Internet traffic has prompted several consumer and Internet watchdog groups to file a formal complaint with the Federal Communications Commission. The complaint filed by Free Press, Public Knowledge, Media Access Project, Consumer Federation of America, Consumers Union, the Information Society Project at Yale Law School, Charles Nesson of Harvard Law School and the Berkman Center for Internet & Society, and Barbara van Schewick of Stanford Law School asks “"The FCC should act immediately to enjoin Comcast's secret discrimination and, even before deciding the merits, issue a temporary injunction requiring Comcast to stop degrading any applications," the complaint states. "Upon deciding the merits, the Commission should issue a permanent injunction ending Comcast's discrimination."

A separate complaint asks the FCC to fine Comcast $195,000 per customer. While it’s unlikely that the FCC will fine Comcast, it could force them to stop using the delaying tactics. Either way, the complaints are keeping alive an issue that Comcast surely wants to go away.
